      Thank you. I genuinely don't hate, fear or dread the aging process the way so many are conditioned to. I feel the opposite, that people get more beautiful with age especially because we learn how to properly look after and respect ourselves. Cheesy but sincere view.

      @@gothamista Not cheesy; there are legions of us out here embracing our body’s natural process but still wanting to look and feel healthy and lovely. We follow content creators with the passion and skills to help us learn to care for our skin (and bodies) but so often the messaging is indirectly or overtly about fighting impending loathsomeness rather than to nurture ourselves.

      @rosemary5005 หลายเดือนก่อน

      PS. The skincare works! It's all in the long-term usage. Toners with galactomyces serums with bifida, usage of retinoids (and they don't necessarily have to be so strong - consistency is the key!) and whatever actives that you use regularly to target your specific thing and taking care of the "biome mantle" or the skin barrier WILL pay off. Natural is so much better in the end. And it does it way better than knife and needles. I admire that you never do e any "work". Neither have I. Nature does it better. I trust my DNA. And we can help nature with a little bit of skincare 😉

    I'm South Korean and used to deal with milia around my eyes. But since switching to carnivore/keto and then animal-based dietary intake the last 3 years, there's been no more milia at all! In facts, a bunch of body things have cleared up since switching my foods.

    It’s such a treat to see a new video today. I’m on the hunt for a really emollient face cream (one that’s easy to get in Canada) for my menopausal skin. I tried a mini version of the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream and it was exactly what I needed. It even helped me tolerate using actives more frequently. I was going to buy the full size but then I found out that the formula had changed and that it didn’t perform or feel the same as the original. So, if anyone knows of a dupe or something else that is really hydrating, moisturizing, rich and soothing without feeling silicone-y or waxy, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

      yes, this is a spendy serum. in fact, out of my 2 favorite copper peptide serums (CAIS + the ordinary copper peptides), I feel this one from AoS is similar to the Ordinary's. Not the same of course, but a great option that's less spendy.
